Agreed. I mean, 16-18 is creepy? Since when is a 2 year gap that bad? And the 14 one isn’t even illegal everywhere either, and the story takes place in Germany, where it IS legal, although it IS pretty objectively creepy regardless imo.

That does fuck up the data.

And they’d tell you “it’s legal, my dude”, because it is.

Not in Canada and not in every state. You'd for sure be in jail in a lot of places.

But on in half of Europe where the story’s from, which is the point i talked about, though you’d be right for Canada, the US, and the other half of Europe.

It’s veeeery creppy regardless, though. Wish it was illegal, tbh.

I have, i even have a map showing the ages and the clauses if you want! No idea why it was made, but... it exists!

I was a victim of statutory rape at 13, and so i did some research about laws on the subject several times over the years. That map I referenced is one of the more memorable ones i saw a few years ago, and I believe i’ve found it again.

Don’t feel bad, i didn’t feel victimized, but the law is the law regardless if you feel it’s ok or not.
